Morning,
Sorry to hear youre feeling bad Kazza, my worst day was the first day of AF & thats when the headaches started but will keep my fingers crossed that that doesnt happen for you. Its such a shame to start AF on Monday rather than at the weekend when you could have just lazed about & relaxed.
Key - I spoke to the nurse at Guys about acupuncture & she said that they cant officially recommend it as there is no evidence, but I said that lots of people on the forums say it really helps with stress and she said that she agreed and if I felt stressed it is something I can try. At the moment I dont really feel at all stressed, so I think I might just see how it goes as I am super skint after Christmas. As Vespa said, Ill use this first go as more of a trial, and then try acupuncture in the upcoming attempts (unless it works first time!). The nurse said that lots of the women that come in are in quite high states of anxiety & she could understand it would help them. I can definitely imagine after a few months of this I might be feeling a whole lot more stressed and desperate so will definitely give it a go then. Maybe it might even help with the headaches? Im glad youre feeling so good on the sniffing drugs maybe that could be due to the acupuncture?
Generally the headaches have been worse when I have them and I spent Friday night laying in a dark room. But Saturday and Sunday have been lots better, but its back again today. Maybe im allergic to work! But even with the headaches I feel positive and not at all tired or emotional so im hoping that wont change. I had wine on Sat night but it made me feel quite rough so ill probably give up completely now too. Peer pressure!
Ive got my appt on Wed afternoon. Do you remember what the nurse said to take with us? Was it just the injection handbag and a packet of the medicine? I should have written it down but I didnt think I would suddenly lose my memory!
Jhoney thats good news, everythings happening quite quickly for you, and you have the lovely dr tom.
